Problems in John Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion
I have been studying and confronting the problems of Calvinism for a little while now. But now I want to go right to the source, to John Calvin's Institutes of the Christian Religion . This is a long, rambling, confusing book about Calvin's theological views, written when he was about 27 years old. And I think it's full of problems. (And I've only read 4 chapters so far. But maybe it gets better, I don't know. And o f course, there will be some correct things in there, some wise things. But don't let that blind you to his errors.) I am going to do my best to, well, understand his writing, for starters. It's really confusing writing. It sounds more like philosophical ramblings than inspired doctrine. And I am going to do my best to point out some of what I think are Calvin's biggest theological blunders, the things that make his theology wrong from the very start. I'm not going to look at everything, just mainly at his tea...
